So I have 4 kids 20,14, and a set of twins that are 11. I have been over weight my entire life and had the gastric sleeve in March 2013 I lost 90 pounds and am currently 135 pounds and 5'2". Along with the weight loss I lost my blobs and butt and gained an extremely saggy tummy.
I have just confirmed my surgery date January 6, 2015 in Guadalajara Mexico. I will be getting a tummy tuck, brazilian butt lift, and breast lift with implants. I booked my flight yesterday and thought I was going to vomit because it was seriously like "wow $hit just got real" . I'm not going to lie I am nervous I have never been out of the country and only on a big plane once. I am going by myself so I will be staying in a Recovery Inn, that has registered nurses. A girl I work with went to the same doctor last month and her results are AMAZING!

That is a blessings, I am very interested in who did your sleeve and what was the cost, because I would like to have that done instead of the lap-band before I get my bbl and ga done so that my body looks right and to keep the unhealthy weight off.

I paid the surgeon in full today! One step closer to the new sexy me. I am trying to gain a little more weight because I am scared Dr. Arenas wont have enough fat to transfer to my booty. has anyone went in thinking that they were getting a BBL and wake up without having it done due to lack of fat?

did you ever get your surgery?
January 30, 2015
I am so shocked that you had so much done for such a small price tag!!! Did that include the anesthesia, recovery, etc, or was that just for the surgery itself? Very curious. And congratulations!!

37 , 4 Kids Gastric Sleeve Almost 2 Years Ago

I had my surgery January 6th in Guadalajara Mexico. I love my doctor he did an awesome job listened to everything I wanted and delivered. I had Gastric Sleeve 2 years ago and lost 90 pounds I put 15 back on purposely for the surgery so there would be enough fat to transfer to my butt .Surgery went well it was about 7 hours. I got aggressive Lipo to the arms, thighs, back and flanks, a full lower body lift , Brazilian butt lift and breast lift with 475cc gummy bear high profile round implants. The first few days sucked especially since I am here in Mexico by myself.
